Nothing More/Forever More

Verse1

I took her heart

and threw it on the floor

after she said she didn't

love me anymore

I left

walked out the door

left her crying on the floor

the tears on her face

meant nothing to me anymore

 

Verse2

I left my home

headed for the shore

flew out the next day

never looked back

for someone who didn't love me anymore

for someone who could care less

who I was anymore

 

Bridge1

Not a call

not an I love you

not nothing from her

except the tears rolling down her face

the cold empty space

where her heart used to be

I guess I took it all with me

 

Chorus1

When I close my eyes

I still see her face

lonely and longing for my embrace

I gave up

when my heart hit the floor

I left it laying there

'cause I want nothing

Nothing More

 

Verse3

She went out every night

drank her soul away

went home empty handed

with tears in her eyes

while I sat on the dock of the bay

dreaming my life away

 

(solo)

 

Verse4

I felt my soul

slipping away

day after day

the feelings of hurt and anger

crept in

I couldn't get 

far enough away

the memory of her

wouldn't fade away

even when I said goodbye

she's still in my face

in my heart and soul 

in her place

 

Verse5

Then one day

I wake to face another day

there's a knock on my door

I open the door

there she stands

like an Angel

from another world

with tears in her eyes

she says she loves me

she don't want me to be away anymore

 

Bridge2

Not a call

just an I love you

from her

standing in my front door

with tears rolling down her face

a true love filled the empty space

where her heart will always be

when she came looking for me

 

Chorus2

When I close my eyes

I still see her beautiful face

while she's in my embrace

I gave up once

but I tried again

I picked my heart up off the floor

when she showed up at my front door

now all I want is to love her forever

Forever More

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is the first time I've ever wrote a song like this. I wrote these lyrics tonight on my couch. "Nothing More/Forever More" came from some place deep within my heart and soul where I've kept some feelings locked up for a woman who I liked once before, but, in the end, I didn't get the girl. It didn't go the way I had hoped and it definitely could've been handled differently and I feel bad because of the way it went and every time I see her she looks disappointed and hurt. To be honest, I feel the same way. The other half of this song is saying what if we were to talk and get everything, including apologies, out in the open and see if it could happen and be a good thing. Guess we won't know until we cross that bridge.

This intensely written odyssey of love with its pain and loss
